What will you be wearing so it's easier to spot you? Perhaps the gunnars or the Curse shirt?? There are a lot of asians there and I am incredibly shy. So I want to be definitely sure before I approach.

It's Nyjacky's fault though. He didn't cap the Y. It's common sense to read it as one word for those who didn't know better. I got a feeling though, people would have lightly trolled his name to what it is now anyway, lol.

Not really. Casters will call it whatever they think it is. A famous example in StarCraft is Artosis and how thought IdrA was EYEdra, and it stuck. Despite IdrA himself saying its not, and that its Ihdra. For example at PAX NydusHerMain (think he was playing as NydusHerMan) was called N-Y-dusher-man. Hope that one doesn't stick cuz that was just bad.

Jacky himself has said it both ways, so it can be a bit confusing. Officially, it is supposed to be NY Jacky, since he moved to NY from China. But I think due to how it's stylized, as Nyjacky, just saying it as one word caught on.

Technical classes (trades like welding, contractor's license, or medical assistant), lab sections, and general education classes in my career so far have been heavily impacted that anyone who's not there the first day gets dropped for students trying to get in. For context, I attended a state university and several community colleges in the US.

Most schools? I doubt this. I attend a university and have 5-6 friends that all go to different ones in different parts of the US and I've literally never even heard of this before. You're paying them to take that class, it would be bad business if they practiced this.

I've been to 3 different california colleges and all of them have done this. 2 of the classes im in now will drop you if you miss any day in the first two weeks, despite an excuse or not. There are people sitting on the floor in the back trying to add the class and if you dont show up the first couple days they will happily take your spot.
